Audio regions out of sequence when booting up

I have experienced a problem over the last few years that I was wondering if anyone else has. After working for many hours on a mix, and being happy with the results,then closing down the computer, the next time I reboot the system, the audio files have rearranged themselves in the arrange window. Often hundreds of duplicates are made stacked on top of each other. Original regions often are no longer where they are supposed to be.
Believe me, I am not stoned or intoxicated!
What could be causing this problem?

It might depend on what version of Logic you're using.

Audio cuts out (mDP - HDMI) when entering clamshell mode

Hi - my MBA is late 2012 (8 GB, 2 GHz i7, 10.7.4). When I hook it up to the LED TV (a Toshiba 40L2200U) using a Folsom miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable (no separate adaptors, it's a 6' cable with mDP at one end and hdmi at the other) it works fine - audio is transmitted and it comes through the TV speakers. But when I close the lid and try to continue watching with the laptop in clamshell mode (a magic trackpad is around that is paired to it), video continues just fine but the audio cuts out.
Annoyingly, when I open the lid back up the audio still doesn't work. I have to futz around a while before it comes back (restart any programs with audio output, unplug the cable and plug it back in again, move the audio output in system preferences to core audio and back again to the TV etc.)
Does anyone know what's up with this? I don't think it can be the cable's fault--clearly it's able to transmit audio along with the video, and nothing changes about the cable when I close the lid.
Could anyone with a similar setup (MBA/Lion -> TV via HDMI adaptor) let me know if you are able to enter clamshell mode without losing audio over hdmi?

In 'alsamixer' I have a setting called ''Headphone Jack Sense' which if enabled mutes the speaker when a headphone jack is inserted.
What's the output of
amixer get 'Headphone Jack Sense'

Why does my audio slip out of sync when exporting?

I am exporting an HD edited video. I shot 1280x720 & editing in FCP 6.0.5. I am using APPLE PRO RES 422 1280x720 30fps 48kz . Should it be (HQ)?? - I do not select re-compress all frames or make self-contained. I just want a QT reference file to view and then burn a DVD. My clip is 43 minutes long. HOWEVER, the audio drifts out of sync BIG TIME. Why is that??
Here are my sequence settings:
1280x720 Aspect Ratio HDTV 720p (16:9)
Square Pixels
H.264
Audio at 48kHz

That's what I thought, however, when I play back the .mov file after exporting using "current settings", that's when I experience OUT OF SYNC audio. Do I ignore that and drag and drop that file into iDVD and let iDVD crunch it??? Is it just the playback of that .mov file that is out of sync?

Very Brief Audio Drop Out in Sequence

In one particular part of my sequence, I'm experiencing a very brief audio drop out (which effects the entire audio) timeline. For example, I have a clip of a car starting and revving up. Two seconds into that clip, ALL audio drops out for a frame or two and then comes back in again. It sounds like everything in the audio timeline was cut and moved down a few frames (and the playhead is passing over that gap).
At first I thought it was my media clip so I switched it out by deleting it from my bin and capture folder. I recaptured it and used it again. Same thing. As an experiment, I then tried placing some other audio (from another clip) in that same area of the timeline to see if it happened there too. It did. I then made a new sequence and copied and pasted the affected audio and video it in there. Same thing. I never mixed down audio but saw that this was a suggestion on the forums. I tried that but it was still happening.
By the way, when the audio cuts out, ALL TRACKS cut out, so it's just not limited to a certain clip in a certain track.
Would anyone be able to shed some light on this? Is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks everyone!

_*(SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO POST THIS TWICE) Didn't think the last response went through_.*
Thanks, David. That solution sounds interesting and I'm going to give it a try. I appreciate your quick response, too.
I went back and tried something else, too.
By going to VIEW > EXTERNAL VIDEO > and choosing OFF, I was able to solve the drop out problem. I don't know HOW or even WHY this happened but it seems I can narrow my investigation to my exterior monitor and stereo or my audio/ video card or the actual firewire 800 cable running between the two. I always edit with an external monitor so I've got to jump on this issue quick.
When I turned external viewing back ON again, I got some very weird, garbled audio and static. Turning it off solved the problem. Do you think my video or sound card are going belly up? I have the stock card on my Mac (NVIDIA GT 120).

Audio goes out of sync when i open project on diff macs

i have an iMovie project created on an iMac saved to an external.
I go to open the project up on my macbook and the audio is out of sync.
I go back to my iMac with the same project and it works just fine.
I'm a bit confused because both macs use Mac OS X 10.6.4 and iMovie 8.0.6
what other differences might there be?
any input is appreciated as I'd love to work on projects while out in the field!

Try exporting the iMovie project as a single full quality dv format quicktime file.
I use iMovie6 HD and this is my usual procedure that works well.
Make the movie in iMovie, will involve many separate clips. When finished, export (share) as a single full quality dv format quick time file. When I have an hours worth of smaller projects, I create a new iMovie project and import all of the quicktime .dv files for each separate short project. I add chapter markers in this project, then share with iDVD. I then burn an hours worth of stuff at best quality and distribute to family and friends.
iDVD seems to work better with iMovie source that has fewer clips.
BTW: Are you having problems with standard def or hi def iMovie source. Another part of my procedure is that I take the raw tapes and download the entire thing into one iMovie project. I don't edit or change the footage at all, just want to archive to DVD for posterity. In this case, I want to share the iMovie project with iDVD directly. This has worked OK for standard def projects, but my first hi def project (1080i) that I tried, the sound was out of sync. To fix this, I had to create a regular DV widescreen iMovie project, and drag all the clips into it from the HD project. It took over an hour for my humble mac mini to convert the files, but I was then able to share with iDVD and the finished DVD worked ok.
Hope this helps.

Audio is out of sync when placed in the timeline!!!

When I play a clip in the viewer, everything is fine, but when the clip is placed into the timeline and played in the canvas, the audio is out of sync by about half a second. I noticed that even when I view the sound waves, what I hear does not match up with where the playhead is. This is extremely frustrating and I have currently resulted to physically moving the audio to match it up, something that I do not want to do for the duration of my film.
I read in another post that the video and the audio could not be at the same level. How can you tell if the video and audio are at the same level??
I have FCE 3.5 if that makes any difference. Any help would be much appreciated!

How was this clip imported? If it was captured/ingested, did you make sure that the sample rate of the capture settings matched the sample rate of your audio? Normally FCE will give you a warning if they don't match, but it can't hurt to make sure.

Rate Stretch audio goes out of sync when exported.

Audio, which is rate stretched using the rate stretch tool to 100.01%, plays fine in Premiere Pro CS6. However, when exported to Encore or to MPEG-2 file, the audio is no longer stretched and becomes out of sync by the end of the video. When I play the preview in Encore, the audio is out of sync. Switch back to Premiere, it is OK. Export a MPEG-2 file and author a DVD, the audio is out of sync. Go back to Premiere, it is OK. I record the audio using a TASCAM portable recorder. I have recorded and synched audio many times and this is the first time that it does not work, on two separate Premiere projects. Any ideas on how to fix this. Even better, is there a way to record audio so that it matches the video (from a Panasonic HD AVCHD camcorder) without requiring rate stretch adjustment?

Try changing the speed with right click, Speed/Duration instead of using the Rate Stretch tool.

Video and audio goes out of sync when imported into Premiere

I have some videos ripped from some DVD that an acquaintance made, with an open source program called HandBrake, with the default "high profile" settings. When I play it both in VLC and in Quicktime, it plays just fine, but when I import it either in Premiere or in After effects, the video and audio goes out of sync (the video ran faster than the audio and when the video stops, the missing audio is trimmed).
Video info according to Premiere (in Spanish but you may get the meaning).

"HandBrake, these days, is almost entirely about H.264 video, aka MPEG-4 Part 10. HandBrake is migrating to quality-based encoding."
Hmmm. I use HC Encoder to make my DVDs because it's the only free encoder I've found with the much more professional Constant Q encoding option. But HC Encoder doesn't do HD sources for Blu-ray, so I've been wondering if I'd be stuck with the lame-*** consumer CBR and VBR options most encoders provide (including Adobe - hint, hint) when I eventually start working in HD. This is a very interesting program, Handbrake. I will have to check it out.

Audio goes out of sync when Blu-ray folder is exported from Encore CS6

I compile a project in Encore using H.264 and .wav files. The audio plays fine directly from the timeline. It also plays fine when I preview it from Encore. When I finally export it as a set of Blu-ray folders, the audio exports out of sync with the video. It is approximately 6-7 seconds ahead of the video. What am I doing incorrectly? When I mux the files into an .MKV, the video is in sync with the audio so I know the files themselves do not have different start times.
I am running with an HP Z820 with Windows 7, 64-bit OS and 16GB RAM.

For anyone who's interested, I found a solution to this problem. Once imported into Encore, the leader in on the video and audio files cannot be trimmed at all. (I had been trimming the beginning of the video and matching audio file to eliminate the 8 seconds of dead space at the start of the clips.) Although the trim took effect immediately in the Encore timeline and I could also watch it in preview in sync, exporting was another story. The audio track seems to retain the trim when exporting but the video track does not, hence the 6-7 second delay between audio and video.
I reimported the files to my project and left in the 8 seconds of dead space at the start and voila! The video and audio match up when exported.
Ideally the trim tool would just work as its supposed to through export and all, but at least I found a solution I can work with.
(As a note, the trim works just fine in export on Encore CS5. I only had this problem with Encore CS6.)

Slideshow audio gets out of sync when exported to iDvd

I made a large slideshow for a 40th anniversary party. It has 244 images & 7 songs. It is 29 min 54 seconds long. When I view the slideshow in iPhoto it works fine & the last image ends right at the end of the last song.
When I exported it to iDvd, the audio gets out of sync with the video. By the end of the first song, the video is about 2 seconds ahead. By the end of the last image, the last song is cut of by about 30 to 45 seconds. I tried exporting the slideshow directly to iDvd. I also exported it as a large movie & it did the same thing.
I'm using a 17" 1.67ghz powerbook with 1.5 gigs of ram.
I'm using OS 10.4.2.
I'm using iPhoto 5.0.4
I'm using iDvd 5.0.1
The images are scanned tiffs. I also have jpegs that I shot with my canon eos digital rebel xt.
Anybody have any ideas or work-arounds?

I suggest you either use iDVD to create two slideshows or use iMovie to get all 277 images and the 8 audio tracks into one slideshow. If you use iMovie after you get the slideshow/movie put together and completed quit iMovie. Then go into the iMovie project package (Control-click and select Show Package Contents). The find your movie in the Shared Movies folder and drag it into an open iDVD menu. This allows iDVD to to the rendering of the stills and give you a sharper image. That movie file you're dragging is a reference movie so leave it where it is and just drag it into iDVD's window.
If you can live with two separate slideshow (consider it a potty break between the two) and you don't have or need the Ken Burns effect, you can get excellent results by building the slideshows with iDVD from imported stills. The sync to audio in this method works as advertised. I like to add a blank slide at the end of the slideshow so the music fades out during a blank, black slide.

Audio regions getting moved about when i delete/shorten/move other regions

this has happened in a few projects now. i have tracks containing multiple audio regions, and when i try to edit just one of them, the others are affected. if i try to make a left or right corner change, or simply delete a region, all the other regions in the track shift towards the edited region. i just want to be able to work on a region independently without it messing with the other regions in the track.
also...i´ve recorded a vocal section where i basically am just singing "ooooooh" the whole time. i wanted a continuous "ooooooh," so i made a copy of the original region, reversed it, and pasted it to the end of the original (hoping to avoid any clicks between regions). problem is, the region automatically fades the volume slighty at both ends no matter where i cut it, so there still is a bit of a click.
i appreciate any help you can offer
thanks

*Question One:*
It sounds like the Regions you are editing are Clones.
Clones can be created for audio regions (by Option-Shift-dragging). These are comparable to MIDI region aliases, but differ in that adjustments to the start or end points of any cloned region will affect all other cloned regions in the same way.
Adjustments to the source region do not affect clones.
You can, of course, create independent copies of audio regions (by Option-dragging), which can be adjusted without affecting other copies or the source region.
_To make several cloned regions independent of each other:_
• Select the desired (cloned) regions and choose +Audio > Convert Regions to New Regions+ ( or use the corresponding key command, default: Option-Command-R ) in the Arrange area.
Cloned regions that are made independent in this way can have their start or end points altered, without all other cloned regions being affected.

My recorded audio came out "broken" than when i was monitoring while recording an audio

Im using a focusrite scarlett 2i2 as audio interface, an old Yahama MG102c mixer.They worked fine during the past few days but recently my recorded audio turns out distorted and full of static which is way different then when i was monitoring it. The recordings sounded perfect this past few days but suddenly it produces these kinds of annoying extra sounds. Is there a problem with my equipment or is there a problem with the program itself? Any chance of repairing the audio file and fixing the problem itself? any help is appreciated. Thank you! If you dont get what i mean i can send you a sample. Just email me here [email protected]

Anything here help?

Why is my audio cutting out in iMovie when I do green screen?

I am creating a newscast in iMovie using green screen. As I get farther into the movie, the audio cuts out of the scene. Why is this happening?

The audio from both background and green screen foreground clips should play simultaneously but you should be able to adjust the tracks individually.
